You need to change the title to "The best goddamn music you'll ever loving hear you cocksucking gently caress sacks." Even better: "We want your music reviews for our Canadian epic release on Geffen." Or something. Edit - you know what'd be even easier? Posting the songs on Youtube. Just make a video of your photo with the music as the background. Then create a playlist of all the clips. You'll see thumbs up on each track, comments, and stuff. That's right. I'm all ideas, no delivery. Says so on every report card and yearly review. magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 14:27 on May 14, 2015 |

Alternative pants posted:Hawklad it's up to you now. I was intrigued by the "everyone cover the same song" idea floated before the last round but worried that if it's not the right song it might limit participation. So maybe expand it to a single album or single artist/band? We did an Abba/Tool/Radiohead round a couple of years back, and a Bowie round that were both well-received. Something like that might draw some more attention in NMD. So which band/album are the kids listening to these days?

I would say just pick an album off the top 40 and we recreate it.

Looking at the top-selling albums of all time, things I think I could actually do something with would be: Dark Side of the Moon, Saturday Night Fever, Rumours, Sgt. Pepper's, 1 (Beatles #1 hits), Abbey Road, Immaculate Collection (Madonna hits), Nevermind, Gold: Greatest Hits (ABBA), Like A Virgin, Joshua Tree, Purple Rain, Off the Wall- and holy poo poo Can't Slow Down.

Here's my vote for an album I realize it may be cheating.

Greatest Hits doesn't count as a classic album; it doesn't encompass that transition from one song into the next, the statement about where the artist's head was when they recorded it, etc. It's just "lots of big songs by this one artist." You don't get that deep-cut poo poo. But it doesn't matter. You won't get everybody to agree on anything. Just pick it, and stick it. My vote is either Thriller or George Michael's Faith.

Okay sorry for the delay, I'm leaning towards Dark Side of the Moon, it's got a little something for everyone. Electronic, pop, prog, rock, psychadelic, etc. Unless I hear a better suggestion I'll put up a thread when I get a chance. Since there's only eight tracks we can't really call them exclusively but it would be good to get every track represented somehow.

Don't get me wrong. I love Pink Floyd and DSotM may be one of the best albums of all time, but given the experimental nature of some of the material I just don't see it working for covers. I like the idea of classic/influential albums, but I think if we do that we have to narrow our gaze a bit and go more toward the commercially palatable end of the spectrum and hit the conventional rock or pop. Also I'd rather have a surplus of material to choose from and not have anyone feel left out. Just my two cents.

Gotta concur with Alternative Pants here. I think it would make more sense to do an album that's less a capital-A Album and more just a solid collection of tunes. Also, I'd prefer an album where we could actually hope to better the material. That would be one benefit of doing e.g. a Taylor Swift album, for sure.

Pick a theme and move on. Don't care if it's one album, or songs about doodoo pics in my photo album. How about take a lovely cover and loving make it better than the lovely people who covered it. GREAT WHITE's Once Bitten comes to mind. They needed to all die in that fire.
